IS THE BARRIERS of Persia.

A Persian barber WORKS in a style Chat
is very different from that of tonsorial
practitioners in this country. A
typical shop described by a travel
ler, was a square room with one
side open on the street. In the
centre was a tiny bed of flowers sunk in.
the floor, from the middle of which rose
an %octagonal' stone column q yard high.
The capital o the column formed O re-
ccptaclc for the water in which the bar
Der dipped his hand as he shaved his
customers scalp-in Persia they do not
lather. On the earthen platform outside
the shop sata bury man whose long
beard was being dyed an orange color.
It was full Of yellow mul 0he henna in
a paste1 and bound up with cabbage
leaves to prevent too rapid evaporation.
The shop wa very clean. On two re-
cesses were displayed four vases filed
with flowers, and the implements of the
BARRIERS art--scissorg, razors, ~laneets,
hand-mirrors, large p:ncers to extract
teeth, branding-irons to cauterize the
arteries in amputating limbs, strong
combs, but not a hair brush, for that i'm
plement is never used by Persians. From.
the barecrs girdle hung a round copper
water bottle, bis strap, and a pouch to
hold his instruments. In his bosom was
a small mirror, the presentation of which
to q customer is a sign that the job is
finished and that the barber waits for
his pay. The barber shaves. the heads of
his CUSTOMERS, dyes their boards, pulls
their teeth, cups and bleeds them when
sets their broken bones, and
shampoos their bodies.

A Short Sermon.

There are lines when you are brought
to realize that you stand on the shores of
mysterious eternity, when you can hear
the tapping at your feet of the waves
which roll across the sea SO boundless
that mortal eye has never reached the
farther shore. It Is when you have met
some good friend on the street, given
him q friendly grip, and heard him say
that he hasn't felt sosTe!I in years. the
words hardly cold upon his lips before
he throws up his arms and sinks to the
walk as dead as if b bullet had entered
bis brain. The doctors call it d case OF
heart disease, and those who did not
pass that way read Of it to forget it in
an hour. To You, who even held his
hand q the swift messenger came, there
is something eve to be forgotten, a
sermon such as no divine can ever
preach.IFree Press.

CroaDbeu CON, n,onds.

There is evidently a form Of govern
ment among the crows, and some have
places Of authority. In a flock there is
always some IN guard, ready to give
signal Of approaching danger, and in
flying their fight appears to be directed
by command. I recollect once seeing q
flock Of crows homeWard bound, late in
the afternoon. They were on the air.
line to their pace Of rest, when suddenly
the sun became eelipscd by the interpo-
sition OF the moop. It soon became a
total eclipse.
There were strange cries by the leader
as the darkness spread, and, as il be-
camc total, the command was querulous.
Instantly each crow chose a limb. To
me the actions Of the birds were even
moro interesting than the eclipse. Not
less ridiculous were the movements OF
the crows as the eclipse rolled away.
They were yoluble in their expressions
Of establishment. probably declaring ii
the shortest night they 3 experienced.
After shaking out their feathers, greatly
beWildered, they took up their fight
westward and disappeared. [Indianapo-
lis Journal.

Just Before Gettaysbmrn.

"The l~iyeliest time / remember in the
stock market" said a broker yesterday,
"was when the Confederates were NOV.
ing into Pennsylvania. The day before
the Gettysburg fight begun we all felt
sure that Philadelphia was doomed, and
our merchants were terribly alarmed,
some even shipping their goods TO New
York. The day previous I had been or
dered by a customer to buy a thousand
shares of Reading railroad stock. When
| saw how things looked I hesitated. I
tried to get my customer, but, he had
suddenly left town and could not be
reached. If I bought perhaps he would
blame me if there was a loss, while en-
the other hand if the rebels were beaten
back the shares would surely rise in
value, and then ! would be censured for
not acting according to orders. I went
up to the board room and found they
were offering reams of stock for almost
nothing. | risked the chances and

The Judge Needed the Moaeu.

| have just heard the following good
story on Chief Justice Bleckley. All
who know Judge Bleckley and recall his
long waving hair and beard will appre-
ciate the story. Judge Bleckley was on
his way to the supreme court one morn
inc, when he was accosted by a little
street gamin, with an exceedingly dirty
face, with the customary "shine, sir?"
He was quite imporluna,e, and the
judge, being impressed with the Cypress
i've untidiness of the boys face, said /:
II don't want a shine, but if you will
go wash your face I'll give you q dime"
"All right, sir"
"Well, let me see you do it."
The boy went over to the artesian nv.
drant and made his ablution. Return
ing, he held out his hand for the dime.
The judge said: tsWell, sir, you've
earned your money; here it is.n
The boy said: 81 don't want your
money, old fellow; you take it and have
your hair cut" Saying which he scam.

Cotton Manufncture.

In the fifth century before Christ we
are informed by the Greek historians that
the manufacture of cotton in India had
attained to very high excellence, and
prior to that time it had ex sted for an
unknown period; yet eighteen centuries
elapsed before it was introduced into
Italy Or Constantinople, OR even secured
a footing in the neighbor.ng empire of
China. Cottons were known rather as a
curiosity than as q common article of
dress in Egypt and Persia five centuries
after the Greeks had heard of the s.wool
bearing trees of India. In Egypt the
manufacture never reached any consid-
cradle degree of excellence, and the
muslins worn by the higher classes have
always been imported from India. In
Spain the manufacture, after aourishing
to some degree, became nearly extinct.
In Italy, Germany and Flanders it also
had lingering and ignoble existence in
the early history of those countries.

Queer Of the Gnnstes.

It was left to Capt. John A. Fulton to
learn the history Of the queen of he
band Of the Gypsies that were eamped
near here, last week, trading horses.
The captain says she was named Mrs.
Bridget shearlock, and born in Ireland
and educated in Glasgow, Scotland.
She writes and speaks several different
languages, is about 80 years Of age,
stout and healthy, dark complexion and
hair and eyes exceedingly black. She
says she has travelled e nearly oyery

Hon Interest Dnnars.

Nothing draws with a steadier pull
than interest, and when any one has
learned this he has acquired one of the
great points of success, says a New York
letter to tie Troy Times. Mr.. Shot
well, one of the Bowery banks staff,
mentioned TO me how often depositors
were surprised to find how much their
money had earned. On one occasion a
man who had made several drafts came
to obtain q final settlement, and men
toned that che did not think that there
was much left" "Wait," said Mr.
Shotwell, suntil we balance your ac-
count" and when this was done he was
astonished to find a large amount placed
in his hands. The advantage of having
something working fora mar in addi-
ton to his own labor is also found in the
decision of character and dignity it i'm
parts. 1.-THE first dollar one places in a
savings bank is the beginning of self
respect and self reliance to a higher de-
gree than ever previously experienced"
This was the remark made by the late
jeremiah, formerly president of
the Bowery savings.

"Suppose we tell him in time and hea
what fool remarks he's got to make,
said Bill, whispering to John.
"All right. He's quite a character.
Pity his wife hasn't sense enough tc
manage that boy"
Afew minutes later Bill said: "WeIl
old fellow, we get off at the next sta
ton" @
s.Ah, hah. How long does the trair
stop there2" r
"Only a very few minutes"
"I1l have time, | reckon, to tell yor
that little yarn
"Oh, yes, if you are brief. Before we
reach our station, / would like to give
you a little piece of advice"
'Blaze a-loose."
Before you start out on another trip,
teach your wife to have more frmness,
compel your boy to learn that he must
not howl or leave them both at home.
Your boy has made me SO nervous that
I'll not get over it for a week."
Sorry" said the old man. Slope

"He's getting worse" said the other
young man, speaking in al undertone Of
pretended disguise, but really intending
his words to be heard. II shouldn't
wonder but we'll have fits when he
tells us his story. Here's u station, old
man."
When the train stopped the old fellow
followed the young men, and when they
reached the station platform, overlooking
a steep embankment of red mud, the
old fellow said: "Won't keep you long,
gentlemen. Step over here a mint"
They stepped over, and, selling each of
them by the collar, he threw into his
great, long arms a strength almost super
human, held out the young men, and,
looking into the eyes of first n and
the other, said:
"Lcmme give you some advice: Next
time you travel on a train whar thar's
or POI tired oman with er sick young
ster, try an be er leetle more 'siderate
Nv her feelin's than I am erbout ter be
NV y%ourn," and jamming their heads
violently together, he squashed the
young fellows down in front of him as
though they had been toads tools. Then,
after rolling them down the red embank-
ment, he waved his hand at an amazed
crowd of men and jumped ON the train.
